A bill for £1300 for a new turbo and injector clean on my Focus......... Modern cars
That's cheap! I've paid over 2 grand for turbos trade. And did a set of 5 injectors on a Volvo years ago, they were re-cons and total invoice was 2,200 .

Some rejects from the stamper.
Still warm and free.

First day back in the yard after almost 2 weeks off, and it’s a bit like Christmas.
4 rolls of emery tape @ 60 to 280 grit, 2 sets of Tick removers, purchased after getting too intimate with one last week
, and a splendidly well wrapped parcel from Bedfordshire, which turned out to be:

I got a new genuine Toyota electric aerial for the Surf. I have had enough messing around with cheap ones that either don't fit properly, don't work or both! The dash has been hanging out for a month and I'm fed up with it.
£168 though!
Not sure about the "made in China" lable though. Hopefully it's the usual Toyota quality and not silverline.....

It looks like it could do with a clean - Turn a tube to fit against the back of the toothed ring, wind the jaws to about half way and press down on the jaws with it resting in the tube, the ring comes off from the front and then it's all obvious from there. Perfect job for an Arbour press.

A set of circlip pliers off eBay £13. All because I couldn’t find the ones I’ve already got and I needed them last weekend.

Chuck a bit of oil down the end and stick it on the lathe lol.
I do need to strip my other Jacobs and the r8 Chuck on the mill though.
A nice folding bench that will probably get shortened and used for camping expeditions, an offcut of aluminium side rail that will be mounted underneath the truck’s roof deflector for fitting my tv aerial to, as well as some new LED work lights, and a pair of new floor mats for my little Nissan van. Plus lots of brownie points from work for “rescuing” one of our stepframe trailers that had been abandoned due to a major air leak and was on the verge of being recovered at great expense. Boilersuit on and 20 minutes underneath it with the magic toolbox that very few truck drivers seem to carry these days, plenty of ice cold drinks, lots of swearing , and good to go .
, and good to go .
